Here you can learn how to integrate the reev software into a ABL charging station.
The integration can be done independently in a few simple steps.
Compatible models: Wallbox eMH2, Wallbox eMH3, Wallbox eMC2, charging station eMC3
What is necessary in advance so that the integration can take place
reev operator set
The operator / CPO (CPO = Charge Point Operator) or contracted service provider must have received the operator set. Here, you will find the necessary onboarding materials, such as QR code sticker, SIM card and activation codeLaptop
You will need a laptop to connect to the controller charging infrastructure via a RJ45 data cableAn active internet connection via Ethernet or WiFi to connect to the reev backend.
Step-by-step Integration
In the following chapters, the integration process is demonstrated step-by-step. If you have all the necessary utensils from the previous chapter at hand, you can carry out the integration in parallel.
1. Inserting the Sim card into the LTE stick
If the HUAWEI LTE stick is used (standard SIM size):
You need a SIM card in standard SIM format.
Take off the cover on the top of the LTE stick.
The cut-off corner of the SIM card must face downwards to the right.
If the ALCATEL LTE stick is used (standard SIM size):
You need a SIM card in standard SIM format.
Take off the cover on the top of the LTE stick.
The cut-off corner of the SIM card must face downwards to the right.
2. Connect your laptop to the SBC of the controller charging station
SBC (Single Board Computer)
The position of the RJ45 connector differs depending on the CP model (CP = Charge Point)
3. Access the SBC
Open your preferred browser and use the following IP address (default) to access the SBC:
ATTENTION
First change your local network settings as follows (if they are not set by default)
INFO
Make sure to update the SBC software to the latest version available here, if the CP is not running on the latest version --> Download ABL | eMobility by ABL
